Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,468 million for the third quarter of 2013, .4 percent lower than the $1,474 million for the third quarter of 2012, and 1.1 percent lower than the $1,484 million for the second quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per common share of $.76 in the third quarter of 2013 were $.02 higher than the third quarter of 2012 and equal to the previous quarter. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.65 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013, compared with 1.70 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $30 million in the third quarter and the second quarter of 2013 and $50 million lower in the third quarter of 2012.

U.S. Bancorp Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Richard K. Davis said, “The Company’s third quarter earnings of $1.5 billion, or $.76 per diluted common share, reflected our continuing ability to manage through the current uncertain and slow-growing economy. Our Company produced industry-leading performance metrics, including return on average assets of 1.65 percent, return on average common equity of 15.8 percent and an efficiency ratio of 52.4 percent, as our diversified mix of businesses mitigated the impact of the pull-back in mortgage banking activity.

“Our balance sheet businesses continued to expand, as average total loans grew by 5.7 percent year-over-year and 1.9 percent linked quarter, accelerating from the 1.2 percent linked quarter growth in the second quarter of this year. Given reported industry trends, these results would indicate that our Company

continues to gain market share. Average total deposits posted similar growth at 5.5 percent over the prior year and 2.0 percent linked quarter. Our net interest margin of 3.43 percent was equal to the prior quarter and, coupled with the growth in earning assets, led to an increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis.

“Credit quality continued to improve this quarter with the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding falling to .57 percent from .70 percent in the prior quarter. Nonperforming assets also declined again this quarter, and we released $30 million of reserves, equal to the prior quarter’s release. The quality of our loan portfolio remains high and we expect net charge-offs and nonperforming assets levels to be relatively stable for the remainder of the year.

“The Company continues to generate significant capital, and we returned 77 percent of our third quarter earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, while maintaining our very strong capital base. Our Tier 1 common and Tier 1 capital ratios at quarter end were 9.3 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively. Our Tier 1 common equity ratio was 8.6 percent at September 30th as estimated under the final Basel III rules released in July, well above the required minimum requirement of 7.0 percent and our own targeted ratio of 8.0 percent.

“In September, we hosted U.S. Bancorp’s 2013 Investor Day in New York City. Throughout the day, our senior management team took the opportunity to review our accomplishments since the last Investor Day in 2010. The theme of the conference was “extending the advantage,” and we described to the audience our expanded distribution and scale, our enhanced products, services and capabilities, our gains in market share and, importantly, how our position in the industry allows us to continue to capitalize on future growth opportunities. In other words, how we are “extending the advantage” that we have already created by investing in our diversified business model, maintaining prudent risk management, focusing on operating integrity and compliance, sustaining strong capital and liquidity, and providing superior returns for our shareholders. We will further extend our advantage by capitalizing on the strength of our markets and distribution, fostering the culture within our Company that has given us the success we enjoy today, advocating for our customers and our communities, and preparing our employees for the realities of the new economy, all while providing consistent, predictable, repeatable results for our shareholders.”

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the third quarter of 2013 was $6 million (.4 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2012, and $16 million (1.1 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in net income year-over-year and on a linked quarter basis was principally due to a reduction in mortgage banking revenue, largely offset by a lower provision for credit losses and controlled expenses.

Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2013 was $4,891 million; $288 million (5.6 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2012, reflecting a 2.5 percent decrease in net interest income and a 9.1 percent decrease in noninterest income. Net interest income declined year-over-year, as an increase in average earning assets was offset by a decrease in the net interest margin. Noninterest income declined year-over-year, primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue. Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis was $57 million (1.2 percent) lower on a linked quarter basis due to a 4.3 percent decrease in noninterest income driven by lower mortgage banking revenue, partially offset by a 1.6 percent increase in net interest income, the result of growth in average earning assets and a stable net interest margin.

Total noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2013 was $2,565 million; $44 million (1.7 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2012 and $8 million (.3 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in total noninterest expense year-over-year was primarily due to a reduction in mortgage servicing

review-related professional services expense and lower compensation expense, partially offset by higher employee benefits expense. The modest increase in total noninterest expense on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to higher costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects, partially offset by lower compensation expense and marketing and business development costs.

The Company’s provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2013 was $298 million, $64 million lower than the prior quarter and $190 million lower than the third quarter of 2012. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $30 million in the third quarter and second quarter of 2013, and $50 million lower in the third quarter of 2012. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2013 were $328 million, compared with $392 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $538 million in the third quarter of 2012. Given current economic conditions, the Company expects the level of net charge-offs to be relatively stable in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Nonperforming assets include assets originated or acquired by the Company, as well as loans and other real estate acquired under FDIC loss sharing agreements that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Company (“covered assets”). Excluding covered assets, nonperforming assets were $1,880 million at September 30, 2013, compared with $1,921 million at June 30, 2013, and $2,188 million at September 30, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, compared with a year ago was driven primarily by reductions in the commercial mortgage portfolio, as well as by improvement in construction and development, total commercial and credit card loans. Covered nonperforming assets were $332 million at September 30, 2013, compared with $355 million at June 30, 2013, and $647 million at September 30, 2012. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans, including covered loans, was 1.98 percent at September 30, 2013, compared with 2.02 percent at June 30, 2013, and 2.19 percent at September 30, 2012. The Company expects total nonperforming assets to remain relatively stable in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2013 was $2,714 million, a decrease of $69 million (2.5 percent) from the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was the result of lower rates on loans and investment securities, partially offset by higher average earning assets, continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding and the positive impact from maturities of higher-rate long-term debt. Average earning assets were $6.1 billion (2.0 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2012, driven by increases of $12.4 billion (5.7 percent) in average total loans and $2.5 billion (3.5 percent) in average investment securities, partially offset by decreases of $3.5 billion (41.1 percent) in average loans held for sale and $5.4 billion (48.5 percent) in other earning assets, principally due to the deconsolidation of certain community development and tax-advantaged investment variable interest entities during the second quarter of 2013. Net interest income increased $42 million (1.6 percent) on a linked quarter basis, driven by a $3.1 billion (1.0 percent) increase in average earning assets, reflecting growth in average total loans, partially offset by declines in average loans held for sale and other earning assets. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013 was 3.43 percent, compared with 3.59 percent in the third quarter of 2012, and 3.43 percent in the second quarter of 2013. The decline in the net interest margin on a year-over-year basis primarily

reflected lower rates on investment securities and loans, partially offset by lower rates on deposits and a reduction in higher cost long-term debt.

Average total loans were $12.4 billion (5.7 percent) higher in the third quarter of 2013 than the third quarter of 2012, driven by growth in residential mortgages (19.9 percent), commercial loans (10.9 percent), retail leasing (7.8 percent), total commercial real estate (5.1 percent), credit card (2.3 percent) and other retail loans (1.1 percent). These increases were partially offset by declines in home equity and second mortgages (9.7 percent), lease financing (5.9 percent) and covered loans (22.7 percent). Average total loans, excluding covered loans, were higher by 7.5 percent year-over-year. Average total loans were $4.2 billion (1.9 percent) higher in the third quarter of 2013 than the second quarter of 2013, driven by increases in residential mortgages (4.8 percent), credit card (3.1 percent), commercial loans (2.2 percent), other retail loans (1.8 percent), total commercial real estate (1.6 percent) and retail leasing (.2 percent), partially offset by decreases in home equity and second mortgages (2.1 percent), lease financing (.9 percent) and covered loans (6.3 percent). Excluding covered loans, average total loans grew by 2.2 percent on a linked quarter basis.

Average investment securities in the third quarter of 2013 were $2.5 billion (3.5 percent) higher year-over-year and $.6 billion (.7 percent) higher than the prior quarter. The increases were primarily due to purchases of U.S. government agency-backed securities, net of prepayments and maturities.

Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2013 were $13.1 billion (5.5 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2012. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were relatively stable with an increase of $137 million (.2 percent) year-over-year. Average total savings deposits were $15.8 billion (13.1 percent) higher year-over-year, the result of growth in Consumer and Small Business Banking, as well as in corporate trust, broker-dealer and government-related balances. Average time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 were $1.9 billion (13.0 percent) lower due to maturities, while time deposits greater than $100,000 decreased $1.0 billion (2.8 percent), primarily due to a decline in Consumer and Small Business Banking and corporate trust balances. Time deposits greater than $100,000 are managed as an alternative to other funding sources, such as wholesale borrowing, based largely on relative pricing.

Average total deposits increased $5.0 billion (2.0 percent) over the second quarter of 2013. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.4 billion (2.1 percent) on a linked quarter basis, mainly in Consumer and Small Business Banking and Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate. Average total savings deposits increased modestly, $600 million (.4 percent), as higher broker-dealer balances were offset by lower corporate trust balances. Compared with the second quarter of 2013, average time certificates of

deposit less than $100,000 declined $657 million (5.0 percent) due to maturities. Average time deposits greater than $100,000 increased $3.6 billion (11.5 percent) on a linked quarter basis, principally due to higher broker-dealer and other wholesale banking balances, partially offset by lower corporate trust balances.

Noninterest Income

Third quarter noninterest income was $2,177 million; $219 million (9.1 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2012 and $99 million (4.3 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2013. The year-over-year decrease in noninterest income was principally due to a $191 million (36.8 percent) reduction in mortgage banking revenue due to lower origination and sales revenue, partially offset by higher servicing income and a favorable change in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), net of hedging activities. Growth in several fee categories helped to offset the decline in mortgage banking revenue. Credit and debit card revenue increased $31 million (14.6 percent) over the prior year due to higher transaction volumes, including the impact of business expansion. Merchant processing services revenue was $26 million (7.5 percent) higher as a result of an increase in product fees and higher volumes. Trust and investment management fees increased $15 million (5.7 percent) year-over-year, reflecting improved market conditions and business expansion, while investment products fees increased $8 million (21.1 percent) over the prior year due to

higher sales volumes and fees. Offsetting these positive variances were declines in corporate payment products revenue of $9 million (4.5 percent), the result of lower government-related transactions, and commercial products revenue, which decreased $18 million (8.0 percent) year-over-year due to lower standby letters of credit, foreign exchange, bond underwriting and syndication fees. In addition, other revenue declined by $78 million (40.4 percent), principally the result of a gain on the sale of a credit card portfolio in the third quarter of 2012.

Noninterest income was $99 million (4.3 percent) lower in the third quarter of 2013 than the second quarter of 2013, driven by a reduction in mortgage banking revenue due to lower origination and sales revenue, partially offset by higher servicing income and a favorable change in the valuation of MSRs, net of hedging activities. Partially offsetting the decline in mortgage banking revenue was growth in corporate payment products revenue, which increased by $16 million (9.1 percent) on a linked quarter basis due to seasonally higher sales volumes. Deposit service charges were $20 million (12.5 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013, due to higher volumes, pricing changes and an increase in account fees. Offsetting these positives variances was other revenue, which decreased $44 million (27.7 percent) linked quarter, primarily due to lower equity investment and retail lease revenue, as well as the impact of a small merchant processing-related contract termination gain recorded in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, treasury management revenue was $6 million (4.3 percent) lower due to seasonally higher tax-processing transaction volumes in the second quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2013 totaled $2,565 million, a decrease of $44 million (1.7 percent) from the third quarter of 2012, and an $8 million (.3 percent) increase from the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in total noninterest expense year-over-year was driven by lower professional services expense due to a reduction in mortgage servicing review-related costs. Compensation expense decreased $21 million (1.9 percent), primarily as a result of lower incentive expense. Marketing and business development expense was $11 million (11.5 percent) lower than the prior year due to the timing of marketing programs, while other intangibles expense decreased $12 million (17.9 percent) year-over-year, the result of the reduction or completion of the amortization of certain intangibles. Other expense decreased by $20 million (4.4 percent), largely due to a reduction in litigation-related expense and lower costs associated with other real estate owned, partially offset by higher costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects. These reductions were partially offset by higher employee benefits expense of $53 million (23.6 percent), principally due to higher pension and medical costs. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $7 million (3.0 percent) due to business initiatives, higher rent expense and maintenance costs. Technology and communications expense was $9 million (4.4 percent) higher than last year, reflecting both business expansion and technology projects.

Noninterest expense increased $8 million (.3 percent) on a linked quarter basis. Net occupancy and equipment expense was $6 million (2.6 percent) higher, driven by utilities and maintenance costs, while other expense increased $21 million (5.1 percent) principally due to higher costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances was a decrease in compensation expense of $10 million (.9 percent), reflecting a reduction in commission expense and contract labor costs, and lower marketing and business development expense of $11 million (11.5 percent) due to the timing of marketing programs.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2013 resulted in a tax rate on a taxable-equivalent basis of 29.5 percent (effective tax rate of 27.5 percent), compared with 31.2 percent (effective tax rate of 29.3 percent) in the third quarter of 2012, and 28.8 percent (effective tax rate of 26.8 percent) in the second quarter of 2013.

Credit Quality

Net charge-offs and nonperforming assets declined on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis as economic conditions continued to slowly improve. On a linked quarter basis, net charge-offs decreased $64 million (16.3 percent), and nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, decreased $41 million (2.1 percent). The allowance for credit losses was $4,578 million at September 30, 2013, compared with $4,612 million at June 30, 2013, and $4,771 million at September 30, 2012. Total net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2013 were $328 million, compared with $392 million in the second quarter of 2013, and $538 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in total net charge-offs on a linked quarter basis primarily reflected improvement in the total commercial portfolio, as well as improvement in the residential mortgages, credit card and home equity and second mortgages portfolios. The $210 million (39.0 percent) decline in net charge-offs year-over-year was primarily due to improvement in the commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgages and home equity and second mortgages portfolios. The Company recorded $298 million of provision for credit losses in the current quarter, which was $30 million less than net charge-offs.

Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs decreased to $5 million (.02 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $21 million (.08 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013, and $91 million (.37 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2012.

Residential mortgage loan net charge-offs were $57 million (.46 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $74 million (.63 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013, and $121 million (1.17 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2012. Credit card loan net charge-offs were $160 million (3.75 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $173 million (4.23 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013, and $167 million (4.01 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2012. Total other retail loan net charge-offs were $98 million (.83 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $105 million (.90 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013, and $157 million (1.30 percent of average loans outstanding) in the third quarter of 2012.

Lines of Business

The Company’s major lines of business are Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, Consumer and Small Business Banking, Wealth Management and Securities Services, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. These operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is prepared and is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Noninterest expenses incurred by centrally managed operations or business lines that directly support another business line’s operations are charged to the applicable business line based on its utilization of those services, primarily measured by the volume of customer activities, number of employees or other relevant factors. These allocated expenses are reported as net shared services expense within noninterest expense. Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base. During 2013, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, prior period results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository services, treasury management, capital markets, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution, non-profit and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate contributed $333 million of the

Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $326 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $328 million in the second quarter of 2013. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate’s net income increased $7 million (2.1 percent) over the same quarter of 2012 due to a lower provision for credit losses and a decrease in total noninterest expense, partially offset by lower total net revenue. Total net revenue declined by $34 million (4.1 percent). Net interest income decreased modestly, $2 million (.4 percent) year-over-year, primarily due to lower rates on loans and the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits, partially offset by higher average loan and deposit balances and higher loan fees. Total noninterest income decreased by $32 million (10.7 percent), driven by lower commercial products revenue, including standby letters of credit fees, foreign exchange revenue, bond underwriting fees, loan syndication and other loan-related fees. Total noninterest expense decreased by $7 million (2.2 percent) from a year ago, primarily due to lower compensation and employee benefits costs, driven by a reduction in incentives expense. The provision for credit losses was $38 million lower year-over-year due to lower net charge-offs, partially offset by an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate’s contribution to net income in the third quarter of 2013 was $5 million (1.5 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013. Total net revenue increased $1 million (.1 percent), over the prior quarter. Net interest income increased by $7 million (1.3 percent) on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to increases in average loan and deposit balances, partially offset by a decline in loan fees, lower loan rates and the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits. Total noninterest income decreased by $6 million (2.2 percent) due to lower treasury management fees, driven by seasonally higher tax-processing transaction volumes in the second quarter, as well as decreases in foreign exchange revenue, loan syndication and other loan-related fees, partially offset by higher bond underwriting fees, equity investment and trading revenue. Total noninterest expense decreased by $7 million (2.2 percent) driven by lower net shared services costs. The provision for credit losses decreased by $1 million (2.7 percent) due to lower net charge-offs, partly offset by an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

Consumer and Small Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail, ATM processing and over mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, in-store banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, workplace banking, student banking and 24-hour banking. Consumer and Small Business Banking contributed $343 million of the Company’s

net income in the third quarter of 2013, a $9 million (2.7 percent) increase over the third quarter of 2012, and a $3 million (.9 percent) decrease from the prior quarter.

Retail banking’s total net revenue was 3.2 percent lower than the third quarter of 2012. Net interest income decreased 2.5 percent, primarily due to lower loan rates and the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits, partially offset by higher average loan and deposit balances and loan fees. Total noninterest income for the retail banking division decreased 4.8 percent from a year ago, principally due to lower retail lease revenue, partially offset by an increase in deposit service charges. Total noninterest expense for the retail banking division in the third quarter of 2013 decreased 2.0 percent from the same quarter of the prior year, largely due to reductions in compensation and employee benefits expense, other intangibles expense, marketing expense and costs associated with other real estate owned, partially offset by higher net shared services expense. The provision for credit losses for the retail banking division decreased 62.9 percent on a year-over-year basis due to lower net charge-offs and a favorable change in the reserve allocation. The contribution of the mortgage banking division was lower by 38.3 percent than the third quarter of 2012 due to a decrease in total net revenue, partially offset by a reduction in total noninterest expense. The division’s 30.8 percent decrease in total net revenue was due to a 37.1 percent decrease in total noninterest income, driven by lower mortgage origination and sales revenue, partially offset by higher servicing income and a favorable change in the valuation of MSRs, net of hedging activities, as well as a 14.1 percent decrease in net interest income, primarily the result of lower average loans held for sale. Total noninterest expense was 25.6 percent lower than the prior year, reflecting a reduction in mortgage servicing review-related professional services costs. The provision for credit losses for the mortgage banking division increased 2.1 percent due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

Consumer and Small Business Banking’s contribution in the third quarter of 2013 was $3 million (.9 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2013, driven by a decrease in total net revenue, partially offset by lower total noninterest expense and a favorable variance in the provision for credit losses. Within Consumer and Small Business Banking, the retail banking division’s contribution increased 16.6 percent. Total net revenue for the retail banking division increased 1.5 percent over the previous quarter. Net interest income increased modestly (.9 percent) due to higher average loan balances and loan fees, partially offset by lower loan rates and the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits.

higher transaction volumes, pricing changes and an increase in account fees. Total noninterest expense for the retail banking division was relatively flat on a linked quarter basis, as lower marketing expense and compensation and employee benefits expense, were partially offset by an increase in net shared services costs. The provision for credit losses decreased 15.8 percent on a linked quarter basis due to a favorable change in the reserve allocation and lower net charge-offs. The contribution of the mortgage banking division decreased 16.4 percent from the second quarter of 2013 due to lower total net revenue, partially offset by a decline in total noninterest expense. Total net revenue decreased 12.2 percent due to a .6 percent decline in net interest income and a 17.1 percent decrease in total noninterest income, primarily due to a reduction in mortgage banking revenue, the result of lower origination and sales revenue, partially offset by higher servicing income and a favorable change in the valuation of MSRs, net of hedging activities. Total noninterest expense decreased 9.0 percent, driven by lower compensation and employee benefits expense and costs associated with other real estate owned. The mortgage banking division’s provision for credit losses decreased on a linked quarter basis, principally due to a favorable change in the reserve allocation.

Wealth Management and Securities Services provides private banking, financial advisory services, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, trust, custody and fund servicing through five businesses: Wealth Management, Corporate Trust Services, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Institutional Trust & Custody and Fund Services.

The business line’s contribution was $9 million (20.9 percent) lower than the same quarter of 2012 due to higher total noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in total net revenue. Total net revenue increased by $21 million (5.7 percent) year-over-year, driven by a $23 million (8.2 percent) increase in total noninterest income, primarily due to the impact of improved market conditions, business expansion and higher investment products fees. Net interest income decreased $2 million (2.3 percent), principally due to the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits, partially offset by higher average loan and deposit balances. Total noninterest expense increased by $33 million (11.1 percent) as the result of higher compensation and employee benefits expense and an increase in net shared services costs, including the impact of business expansion and higher litigation-related costs. The provision for credit losses increased $2 million (50.0 percent) over the prior year due to an increase in net charge-offs.

The business line’s contribution in the third quarter of 2013 was $12 million (26.1 percent) lower than the prior quarter. Total net revenue decreased by $10 million (2.5 percent) on a linked quarter basis, reflecting a decrease in net interest income, principally due to lower average deposit balances, and lower trust and investment management fees, largely due to fee waivers. Total noninterest expense increased $4 million (1.2 percent), primarily as a result of higher litigation-related costs. The provision for credit losses increased $5 million on a linked quarter basis, due to higher net charge-offs.

Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit and merchant processing.

Total net revenue decreased by $21 million (1.7 percent) year-over-year. Net interest income increased by $11 million (2.9 percent), primarily due to higher average loan balances, improved loan rates and lower rebate costs on the Company’s government card program. Total noninterest income decreased by $32 million (3.7 percent) year-over-year, reflecting a gain on the sale of a credit card portfolio in the third quarter of 2012 and lower corporate payment products revenue due to a reduction in government-related transactions. Offsetting these unfavorable variances were higher credit and debit card revenue, which increased by $31 million (14.6 percent) over the prior year due to higher transaction volumes, including the impact of business expansion, and a $26 million (7.5 percent) increase in merchant processing services revenue, the result of higher product fees and transaction volumes. Total noninterest expense increased by $35 million (7.1 percent) over the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits expense, technology and communications expense and net shared services expense, including the impact of business expansion, partially offset by a reduction in other intangibles expense. The provision for credit losses increased by $37 million (27.4 percent), principally due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation, partially offset by lower net charge-offs.

Payment Services’ contribution in the third quarter of 2013 declined $2 million (.6 percent), from the second quarter of 2013. Total net revenue was flat on a linked quarter basis.

transaction volumes. Total noninterest expense increased by $7 million (1.3 percent) due to higher compensation and employee benefits expense and net shared services costs, partially offset by lower marketing expense.

A $26 million (12.1 percent) increase in total noninterest expense primarily reflected higher costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

This press release contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S. Bancorp. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Global and domestic economies could fail to recover from the recent economic downturn or could experience another severe contraction, which could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Continued stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities held in its investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, residual value risk, market risk, operational risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Corporate Risk Profile” contained in Exhibit 13, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, factors other than these also could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and U.S. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators under the FDIC Improvement Act prompt corrective action provisions that are currently effective, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:

•

Tangible common equity to tangible assets,

•

Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I definition,

•

Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I definition,

•

Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets estimated using final rules for the Basel III standardized approach released July 2013, and for additional information

•

Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets approximated using proposed rules for the Basel III standardized approach released June 2012.

These measures are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market or economic conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows investors, analysts and banking regulators to assess the Company’s capital position relative to other financial services companies. These measures differ from the currently effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations principally in that the numerator excludes trust preferred securities and preferred stock, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or are not currently effective or defined in federal banking regulations. As a result, these measures disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

There may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this press release in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A table follows that shows the Company’s calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
